Playing MP3 files in parcel music

[Dizzi Sternberg]

We have a ride that uses sound from a web URL played through the parcel music settings

 

this used to work but now it appears to have stopped functioning . the URL is still valid and plays the music in a browser.

 

Has something changed in the viewer?

Parcel music/media can go wonky.  Perhaps a region re-start is in order?

What's the parcel music URL?

[Dizzi Sternberg]

https://www.dizzisternberg.co.uk/music/Picts.mp3 is an example of what used to play

Since the music stream seems to not allow this now I just used the Sim default Media and set it as audio files and all works fine, even if there are no prims textured with media just had to add a text message saying allow media for best experience.

Plays across the whole parcel now

because it's no stream, if you can play it with a player in your browser it's most likely a stored MP3 on a server, not a broadcast.

Yes as I had explained at first it was exactly that, a playlist stored as MP3s on my own server. It has been running that way for 5 or 6 years now. Something has changed recently and turned off this ability and we lost our ride soundtrack. But using sound media makes sense rather than forcing MP3s into the parcel music stream. I also had a music player on my parcel which used the same system to make a parcel playlist stored off in the cloud. That wont work now either.

But using a similar system by sending the mp3s to the default media will work, so if anyone is still selling these sort of devices then at least it has a fix.
